HERBST CLAIMS NASCAR LATE MODEL WIN By: Dave Noelke ( West Salem , WI – August 24, 2013) On a hot August night, fans were treated to great action in five divisions of racing. When the NASCAR Late Model Feature had concluded, it was J. Herbst taking the checkers and his third win of the 2013 season. The State Bank Financial 25 began with Matthew Henderson and Branden Berg on the front row. Henderson took the early lead and held it until lap four when Herbst dove underneath heading into turn one to take the top spot. Things got exciting on the fifth lap when point leader Steve Carlson dove inside of Hendersons car for second, and had a nose inside of Herbst heading down the backstretch in trying to go from third to take the lead all on the same lap. Herbst had the muscle down the backstretch and was able to hold off Carlson for the top spot. Meanwhile, Shawn Pfaff was making his way into the top five and then buckled down into the third spot by the halfway lap. Carlson appeared to have the faster car in the battle with Herbst, but was unable to get around the white number 82 after several attempts to get the nose of car underneath were unsuccessful. A last lap pass attempt failed as Herbst was strong enough to hold off Carlson and Pfaff to the checkered flag. Henderson and Todd Korish rounded out the top five. The Exhaust Plus Sportsmen State Bank 15 went caution free, but there was plenty of excitement that kept the fans on the edge of their seats. Bill Martin and Brian Hesselberg started up front with Martin taking the lead and continued to lead 14 and three fourths laps of the feature. With three laps to go, Jerrod Loging nosed his car into second underneath Steve Bachman, and Jake Arneson followed Loging under Bachman. Bachman battled back though, around the outside and made his way to the outside of leader Martin going into the final corners on the final lap. A side by side finish it was, which brought the fans to their feet. Bachman was just inches ahead of Martin at the line. Greg Scheck, Jerrod Loging and Jake Arneson finished third, fourth and fifth. A special treat for the fans was a rare visit by the Mid-American Stock Car Series, in the Lawnkeepers 30. Plenty of action was seen during this race, as the first yellow was brought out on lap five, involving Marv Flick on the backstretch. Tim Fulfor took the lead early on and held it through lap five, when the second caution occurred. By Lap ten, cagey veteran Bill Prietzel had made his way up to the second position and the next lap he took the lead from Eric Bucholz. The races third yellow flew when a wreck took place in turn three, involving Jack Stern and Ben Glascock. Early leader Bucholz pitted after the restart, and it appeared to be Prietzels race until another yellow flew due to Rick Tackman and Ryan Gutknecht tangling on the backstretch. It was Prietzel who was able to hang on after the restart and win over Jeremy Spoonmore and local favorite Dan Gilster. Fulfor and Brad Keith completed the top five. United Auto Supply Thunderstox cars hit the track for the State Bank Financial 15 and by lap three, a melee took place on the backstretch, with cars scrambling everywhere. When the dust had settled, it was Jordan Myers in the lead, followed by Adam and Andy Moore, Josh Inglett and Jesse Vian. By the halfway lap, Adam took the lead from Myers and held on for the win. Myers, Andy Moore, Vian and JR Tourtellott completed the top five. In a rare caution-free feature for the Volden Construction Outlawz, Wayne Smith wasted no time in getting to the lead on lap three, and led the remainder of the race. The battle for second was another good one between Jerrod Loging and Cole Scholze. The two bumped on the last lap and Loging held on for second, followed by Scholze, Ron Lockington and Tom Luethe. Only one night of NASCAR Whelen All-American Series racing remains before the 2013 regular season comes to an end. Saturday, Aug. 31st will feature the Late Models, Sportsmen, and Thunderstox, plus the Late Model drivers are ending the season in style as they pair up for brackets of side-by-side elimination match racing.
